Millions allocated to study population status of Amberjack

"Marine biologists Jay Rooker and David Wells will join the team of 18 scientists from 11 other universities to determine the status of the Greater Amberjack, one of the most commonly found fishes in southern waters. The $9 million study will encompass large portions of the Gulf and parts of the South Atlantic Ocean... It is one of the most sought-after fishes by commercial and sport fishermen, so much so that it might be in danger of overfishing and population decline." - Excerpt from Texas A&M University
